samba - Aug 2006 - Unable to set ACLs using Windows Security Dialog Box

Hi,
I configured Samba to act as a file server on RHEL4, Samba 3.0.10.
Everything worked as I expected except owning issue.
If an NT user created a folder on the share, it was getting its owner and 
changing
"Owner Group" from "root" to "Domain Users".
I wanted to keep "Owner" and "Owning Group" through newly
created folders as
well as subfolders.
So I compiled Samba 3.0.20 ,because of its "inherit owner" option that
supported since this version.
But after this upgrade, I could not set any acl on the Samba Server from 
Windows explorer and
I get "Unable to save permission changes on Folder_Name. Access is
denied"
message.

Another issue is that although I have added  some "named users" and
"named
groups" as  Access ACL and "Default ACL" using setfacl command on
the Samba
Server, only 3 access ACLs (owner,owner group,other)  are shown in Windows 
Security dialog box for the folder, but others are not.


Any idea or clue?

Prompt response appreciated..Thanks,

Perhaps this will help.  It is an article written by John  Terpstra

I find it easier to set ownership via the Linux commands on the server.  I
think there is a create mask command that may help you. You should be able
to set it in the smb.conf file.
